Introducing Volume 44!

"With quite possibly the most creative freedom the journal has known since it's founding in 1978, our student-led team has worked tirelessly to compile yet another issue of our beloved Existere."

 - The Senior Editorial Team's Forenote, Existere Volume 45


Spring 2025: Existere Volume 44

 

This latest volume of Existere explores the themes of resilience and curiosity across Canadian perspectives. In lieu of the topics of this installment, Existere aims to challenge and broaden the perception of what it means to be human in today’s world. The issue provides insight into the state of our political climate and the exploration of self. 

Existere implores you, as a reader, to delve into the world of beauty without censorship, restriction, or generative technology, and see the volume as much more than the subject matter, but as a love letter to the perseverance and dedication of creatives worldwide.

Our release features beautiful cover art by Carmela Pacis!

Issue 44 presents new fiction, non-fiction, and poetry pieces by Denise Da Costa, Lindsay Poel, Jessica Lappin, Chanel Sutherland, Samantha Annie Bernstein, Andrea Currie, Daryl Bruce, Marisa Jorgensen, Violet Arenburg, Kate Gunn, Felice Trinidad, Sadiqa de Meijer, Vanessa Nim, Petra Molnar, Sheri Doyle, Erica McKeen, Matteo L. Cerilli, Gabriel Munro, Gerald Arthur Moore, Karen Grosman, Preston Lang, Julia Usher, and MJ Malleck!
